hello all -

This might be as much a Word question as a VFP question, but here it is.....

My VFP app fires up Word97 and the user types in stuff.
When done typing, user clicks my Word tool bar button that runs
my Word macro. My Word97 macro just selects ActiveDocument.WholeStory,
cuts it to the clipboard, and closes Word.

Now, back in my VFP application the user clicks on an RTF control.
The click event pastes the clipboard contents into the RTF control,
and this has been working just fine for about a year.


Now, I enhanced the template and added Form elements to the Word template.

The user still clicks on the toolbar button to invoke the macro that
copies to the clipboard and quits windows. But now, it won't paste
to the RTF control.

Ten minutes ago, i was going to guess that it say i thought the reason
was because of unsupported clipboard formats related to the RTF control.

But i opened a new document and performed all the steps manually.
When i quit Word, it says i put "a large amount of stuff" on the clipboard
and asks if i want to save it.

That does not show up when i run this programatically. Does anyone
know how i could exercise that option when using ole automation ?

(sorry this is so 'wordy' :)
